Bajaj Pulsar RS400 Launch This Financial Year!

Bajaj Auto Ltd has repeatedly hinted at the fast approaching launch of the biggest Pulsar flagships ever. Bajaj launched the Pulsar RS 200 and the Adventure Sports models this year and recently, Mr. Rajiv Bajaj, MD, Bajaj Auto, has hinted that even the Bajaj Pulsar RS400 launch isn’t very far in the offing. Instead, there are good chances that the much awaited motorcycle would be launched in early 2016, probably towards the end of the current fiscal. Rajiv Bajaj, Managing Director of Bajaj Auto, has said that the Pulsar 400 will be launched “some point in this financial year”. Of course, the RS 400 will follow the equally promising CS400 model that shared floor-space with the faired flagship at the Auto Expo 2014. Here, in this post, we have put together all the important details on the Bajaj Pulsar RS400 launch.

The RS400 (SS400) will be the most expensive bike from Bajaj. It will be even pricier than the VS 400. The SS400 will get its engine from the KTM RC390. It should come with similar performance levels but slightly higher fuel mileage. The RS400 will play the elder sibling to the RS200, The Bajaj Pulsar RS400 launch will be really important for Bajaj Auto Ltd.

Bajaj Pulsar RS400 Design

The Pulsar RS400 looks almost exactly like the RS200. The only little differentiation comes from slightly different sticker-job near the headlamps. The RS400 is based on the SS400 concept we saw at the 2014 Auto Expo. Staying true to the concept, the RS400 will look really sporty. It will boast of a full front fairing that will house twin projector headlamps. Furthermore, the headlamps will be accompanied by LED DRLs. There is a large windscreen upfront which should offer sufficient wind protection. The tank looks neatly sculpted and the usage of decals adds some more excitement. In terms of design, the Pulsar RS400 is world-class! Moving on, it gets a split seat setup. The tailpiece looks sufficiently modern bit isn’t the prettiest of designs. The LED taillamps look bold enough.

Bajaj Puslar RS400 Competition

The Pulsar RS400 will be rivaled by the top-end Honda CBR250R on one end, and the KTM RC390 on the other. Also, while not exactly a rival, the RS400 could even eat into the sales of the Pulsar CS400. The RS400 could even indirectly rival the upcoming BMW G310R.
